Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Learn how to use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI agents to securely access and interact with your Intercom data whenever helpful.
Region availability Currently the Intercom MCP server is only supported in US hosted workspaces.
What is Model Context Protocol?
MCP is a protocol that enables AI tools and applications to connect with Intercom’s data and services in a secure, standardized way. It provides a structured method for AI models to:
- Find and retrieve Intercom data (conversations, contacts, etc.)
- Access specific tools and functionality provided by Intercom
- Maintain context about your Intercom workspace when working with AI assistants
How MCP Works
Intercom hosts a remote MCP server that follows the authenticated remote MCP specification (docs). This server handles requests from AI tools and provides access to Intercom data through a secure interface.
Connection URLs:
- Streamable HTTP (Recommended):
https://mcp.intercom.com/mcp - Legacy SSE:
https://mcp.intercom.com/sse(deprecated, maintained for backwards compatibility)
When an AI tool or application needs to access Intercom data:
- The tool connects to Intercom’s MCP server
- Authentication verifies the user’s permissions
- The tool can then access relevant Intercom data and functionality
- The connection remains live to receive updates as needed
Benefits of Using MCP
- Secure Access: All data access is authenticated and authorized
- Standardized Interface: Consistent interaction pattern across different AI tools
- Contextual Understanding: AI assistants maintain awareness of your Intercom environment
- Increased Development Efficiency: Retrieve and interpret customer data from Intercom via your internal AI tools to be more efficient in your work
Available Tools
The Intercom MCP Server provides 6 tools for interacting with the Intercom API:
Universal Tools
search
Universal search tool for finding conversations and contacts using a query DSL approach.
Key Features:
- Must specify
object_type:conversationsorobject_type:contactsto indicate which API to call - Supports complex field-based queries with operators (eq, neq, gt, lt, contains, etc.)
- Returns summary results with IDs prefixed by type (
conversation_*orcontact_*) - Built-in pagination support with
starting_afterparameter - Free-text search capability with
q:parameter
Example Queries:
object_type:conversations state:open source_type:email
object_type:contacts email_domain:"example.com"
object_type:conversations source_body:contains:"refund" limit:20
